I just started taking Evekeo ODT 5mg Tablets for my ADHD, and I'm already noticing some side effects. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced similar issues or has any advice on how to manage them. The tablets dissolve quickly on my tongue, which is convenient, but I've been feeling more anxious and having trouble sleeping. I've also noticed a decrease in my appetite, which is concerning because I already struggle with maintaining a healthy weight. On the positive side, my focus has improved significantly, but I'm not sure if the trade-off is worth it. Has anyone else dealt with these side effects, and if so, how did you cope? Additionally, I'm curious about the potential for serious side effects like chest pain or seizures. Should I be worried about these? My doctor didn't go into much detail about the risks, and I want to be prepared just in case.

I'm trying to decide if the benefits outweigh the risks. I've heard that some people experience a lot of side effects, and others almost none. It's a bit scary to think about the potential for serious side effects, but I guess that's the risk with any medication. I just want to make sure I'm informed and safe.

Side note: these tablets dissolve so fast, it's a little weird at first. A bit like popping candy or Alka-Seltzer..

I feel like the serious side effects are quite rare, but it's definitely something to be aware of. If you experience any chest pain or seizures, seek medical attention immediately. Keep an eye on your blood pressure and heart rate as well. Stay safe!

I've been on Evekeo for a few months now and experienced similar issues. The anxiety and sleep problems were tough at first, but they subsided after a while. My doctor suggested taking the medication earlier in the day to help with sleep. As for the appetite, try eating smaller, more frequent meals. It's also important to stay hydrated.
